When I die

I’ll never let what happened to my wife… happen to MY kids.

It was such a mess.

Her dad recently passed away and had ZERO planned or prepared for his death. So, instead of focusing on grieving, my wife and her family were scrambling figure out all the details of his funeral and scrounging up the money to pay for it.

And, it’s like I told her…

That’s HIS fault.

If you leave your kids in a bind like that when you die, you failed them.

Matter of fact, after seeing it I had a uncomfortable talk with my own dad.

And, I’ll be damned if I ever let that happen to my kids.

But, it’s more than that.

I don’t just want to “not leave them a mess”.

I want to be able to hand them an “empire”. That’s one of the biggest reasons I run a business and don’t work a regular job. I can’t give my job to my kids. But, my business, I can. It’s why I work at it as hard as I do.

It’s why I learn things I’m not necessarily interested in.

So, I can teach them.

Really, it’s the WHY behind everything I do.

Legacy.

How will I be remembered?

Not just by MY kids…

But by their kids…

And, THEIR kids.

As a father, I feel like it’s MY responsibility.

In any case, if you have or plan on having kids, I recommend taking a moment to take stock. Are you prepared? Will you be able to hand them something of value when you go? How will they remember YOU?

If that vision isn’t 100% what you’d like it to be…

You need to get crackin’!

Because, we never know when that moment might come.
